I just moved to Boise and this is so my loved ones can have a better peek into what I am up to. I am also going to document my adventures going to all the locations listed on Living Social's "365 Things to do in Boise." Let me know if you want to tag along on any expeditions!

Kale - Eat more of it!

Kale is one of those super foods we should all be devouring. It takes a bit getting used to, as it has a "greener" taste than bland iceberg or common romaine, but it is packed with nutrients and can be prepared in super tasty ways.

My absolute favorite way to eat it is to make kale chips. See my blog post for more information on how to make those. That post also has tons of information on why kale is so good for you. If you want the shortened version, you should know it has been dubbed "the queen of greens," and July 2012 Glamour has it listed as one of "5 Goods We Should All Shut Up and Start Eating Already." The best part? Kale may help fight cancer and lower cholesterol.

Kale salad is what I like to eat when I want something healthy and fast. Cut up kale into bite size pieces - I avoid the tough rib down the center. Wash and dry.
